Fitted the new switch/harness straight from the box and it was locked solid, so I left it off for a while. Trailered the car to a show the other weekend and drove it for the first time around the show fields and campsite. Huge fun!

Finally got half an hour on it yesterday and made the modifications in ryanheacox's reply above and the switch operates nicely now. Thanks for that post! I understand that the repop stuff has its disadvantages, but it wasn't much effort to make it work and the new switch disk has the regular 1/4" spade terminals on the back so any future electrical modifications won't require much work.

Guess I'm safe to use some dielectric grease on the switch?

Thanks for all of the replies.
